First Donations

Wonderful people!

After starting the Virgin Money Giving Page, we've raised £50 so far through everyone's amazing donations! It does keep reminding me how important this is, and worryingly how quickly it's coming round. Logical planning needs to be made in order to not starve myself, so Aldi will be my food shop! I'm planning on buying food in 2 sections of 5 days, this will hopefully allow for easier controlling. From reading similar blogs, starvation isn't the big worry; more the boring same food over and over again. 

On Sunday I will be doing this wonderful food shop and taking pictures to prove I've kept to the budget! 

Please keep donating, every penny counts! Virgin Money Giving

First blog of long journey ahead!

Hey!

As some of you may be aware, my name is Georgia Dickinson and I'm the Oxjam Takeover Manager for Lancaster! This daily blog will show the ups, downs and crazy times of this whole process. 

The first fundraiser I'm doing is living below the line for 10 days! What's that I hear you say (metaphorically)? I shall tell you; 

Living below the line refers to the line of extreme poverty, suffered by 1.4 billion people who live off less than £1 a day. To try and understand slightly what this HUGE percentage of the world goes through, I will be doing this for 10 days. A small snippet of what is a terrible situation! 

Throughout this process I will be talking and posting pictures of the experience, so everyone can see the effects.
